Welcome to MyoFit Swimming
MyoFit is an efficient and effective training system that can be applied to almost any workout or sports conditioning program.
This group of four newsletters will provide:
Weekly workouts using a 12-16 week periodization plan
Technical instruction to perform better and avoid injury
Teaching materials to learn more about the system
MyoFit Swimming (this newsletter)
MyoFit was developed from a swimming system known as Ultra-Short Race Pace Training (USRPT). After spending a year using USRPT (2015) I said “why can’t this be used for strength training?” and the original design of MyoFit was born. This newsletter will provide high-performance swimming workouts designed to improve technical and physiological capabilities. Technical instruction and knowledge development will be a big part of this program. This system works well for all swimmers from recreational, to advance and triathletes.
Separate lists may eventually be created for each stroke and distance so that workouts will be more specific to your goals.
This newsletter will provide free information about the training system, technical notes, and background teaching material for strength training, sport running, and swimming. The goal of MyoFit Workouts is to make you your own coach and/or allow you to instruct the MyoFit system to athletes, clients, fitness groups, and teams. Sample workouts may be periodically posted here but the weekly workouts will be delivered from the lists below so make sure to subscribe.
This newsletter will provide structured workouts using the 12-16 week MyoFit periodization model. While MyoFit can be applied to most exercises, the workouts in this newsletter will focus on barbell and dumbbell strength training. There will be a program for beginners to learn the fundamental movements and the flow of the system. Experienced lifters (those who know their % RM intensities for compound movements) will be able to jump into a new cycle fairly quickly.
MyoFit can also be structured with more specific goals in mind like strength endurance, maximum strength, and muscle toning hypertrophy.
This newsletter will mostly focus on running for team tactical sports such as Soccer, Futbol, Football, and Lacrosse. The system can also be used for track running as the initial design was tested with track running. Techincal items will be included with workouts and the periodization will partially take into account the pre-seasons for Fall and Spring sports.
Ready, Go!
